I know I have a Hole hunting project in the travel pipe/on my bucket list...traveling around the world visiting amazing hole structures - what a former blog of mine is about.

....but...

..................................................................................................................​wait a second...

I recently got an email from a childhood friend, now living in France, who suggested we might want to go hunting stars instead...not meaning go to Hollywood ;-)))

Spaceport America has opened its gates and it is as for rather recently possible to "fly to the moon" and back.

This is amazing. Thank you Sir R. B.

So...starting to research this and look around..Im very intrigued and this is something that has just jumped into my rather empty bucket list...a top destination for myself...a childhood dream that now has the possibility of coming true.

Speaking of stars and space...Russia had an eventful week with that meteor falling from the sky. Then there was the asteroid the size of half a football pitch made a near miss to the Earth. I find space fascinating. I remember visiting the Kennedy Space Centre as a child when holidaying in Florida. We got to go inside a rocket and see the control room. There was also going to be a launch that day but it was postponed for some reason. If I was smarter at Maths and Science I'd love to have worked for NASA.

Sarah (Beam me up Scotty) hehe

Quoting worldmind:

I'd love to go on a space flight. Richard Branson is amazing! However, I'm sure the price was so high I'd never be able to afford it. However, anyone who wants to do this and wants a travel buddy, I will go with you. lol You wouldn't even need to ask me twice. haha

A unique business requires a very special home and Virgin Galactic will have just that at Spaceport America in New Mexico.

Back in 2005, Virgin Galactic and the State of New Mexico announced that they had reached an historic agreement which would see the building of a state funded $200m spaceport on a 27 square mile area of land in the southern part of the New Mexico "the Land of Enchantment".

Virgin Galactic will establish its headquarters and operate its space flights from Spaceport America, the world's first purpose built commercial spaceport which is now under construction. Spaceport America will provide cutting edge facilities and a wonderful location for fledgling astronauts to realise their dreams. Construction is now well under way and the New Mexico Spaceport Authority (NMSA) recently dedicated the newly completed nearly two-mile long "Governor Bill Richardson Spaceway" at Spaceport America, representing significant progress towards launching commercial customers into space from the desert of New Mexico.

The facility has been designed by world renowned, UK based Foster + Partners who won an international competition to build the first private spaceport in the world.

The sinuous shape of the building in the landscape and its interior spaces seek to capture the drama and mystery of space flight itself, articulating the thrill of space travel for the first space tourists. Making a minimal impact on the environment, the scheme will be the first facility of its kind and a model for the future.

The Spaceport lies low within the desert-like landscape of the site in New Mexico and seen from the historic El Camino Real trail, the organic form of the terminal resembles a rise in the landscape. Using local materials and regional construction techniques, it is both sustainable and sensitive to its surroundings.
